Hello,

ServiceNow is a cloud-based enterprise AI platform designed to automate workflows, connect disparate systems, and digitize processes across an organization, moving them from manual, email-based, or spreadsheet-driven work to a centralized system of action. Often described as a "platform-as-a-service" (PaaS), it provides a single pane of glass for IT, employees, and customers.

 

Core Offerings & Workflows

ServiceNow's "Now Platform" is built around four main workflow pillars:
1) IT Workflows: Includes IT Service Management (ITSM), IT Operations Management (ITOM) for visibility and AIOps, IT Asset Management (ITAM), and Security Operations.

2) Employee Workflows: Includes HR Service Delivery (HRSD) for onboarding, Legal Service Delivery, and Workplace Service Delivery.

3) Customer Workflows: Focuses on Customer Service Management (CSM), Field Service Management, and Sales & Order Management.

4) Creator Workflows: Provides low-code/no-code tools (App Engine) for building custom applications.
